Introduction to Continuous Identity Observability

Orchid Security has introduced a groundbreaking approach to identity management, focusing on continuous identity observability for enterprise applications. This innovative method aims to discover, analyze, and govern identity usage beyond traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) controls.

The traditional IAM tools were designed to manage users and directories, but modern enterprises rely heavily on applications. As a result, identity logic has shifted into application code, APIs, service accounts, and custom authentication mechanisms, making it challenging for IAM tools to keep up.

The Challenge: Identity Beyond IAM Controls

  • Identity logic is embedded in application code, making it difficult to track and manage.
  • APIs and service accounts have become integral to enterprise operations, but their identity usage is often unmonitored.
  • Custom authentication mechanisms have proliferated, adding complexity to identity governance.

Orchid Security's continuous identity observability addresses these challenges by providing real-time visibility into identity usage across the enterprise, enabling organizations to better understand and manage identity-related risks.

Cybersecurity is not just a technical issue; it is a human issue.
